The map indicator disappeared after I killed the 25 Monsters so I had to go look around. The Ancient Seedbearers can be found at the Affliction Ridge starting 45:65 to the northwest. Path begins at 48:65 (the "T" in Beas&*!@ch on the map), there's a little area where you can go through some big mobs fighting and down a hill. You are looking for dead tree guys laying on the ground that you click on to burn.

Haha that is hilarious, wowhead censored out part of the word Beast-watch because there is a dirty four letter word in there.

Description

When these seedbearers are slain their seeds survive. From them spring new seedbearers, not over years, but hours. Leaving their remains here would soon cause the outpost to be overrun. We have learned that burning their remains prevents this from happening.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rage and WisdomGorgrond · Level 15-40

    An endless war wages between the creatures of the eastern wilds and the beasts of the western wasteland. Should one side overwhelm the other, all of Draenor would fall at the hand of the victor. I sent Rangari Erdanii to the heart of the battle between these two forces.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Harsh ReminderGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Welcome to the front lines, commander, where the wastelands and the jungle collide. The battle below rages on, but I believe one side is beginning to overwhelm the other. This cannot be allowed to happen.
